On the promise and pitfalls of global citizenship

On Friday 1/29 we spoke in class about citizenship as a complex concept that may be thought of in a variety of different ways: as a bundle of rights and obligations; as a formal membership status in a political community; as active participation in political and public life; or as an identity.

In this short paper (minimum 3 double-spaced pages), I’d like for you to develop an argument for or against “global citizenship.”

Consider the following:
Do you think that being a “citizen of the world” will ever become a reality, something more than nice political slogan and a normative aspiration?

  • If not, why not? Are you opposed to it on normative grounds, or do you just believe that there are too many barriers to its achievement?
  • If You do think that global citizenship will become a reality, what will it look like? How could the barriers to its realization be overcome?

You will want to engage directly with our in-class discussion about citizenship and with the readings assigned for class about political globalization, cosmopolitanism, and global citizenship.

Please properly cite the sources you draw on using the American Sociological Association (ASA) citation format. The ASA Style Guide can be found here (Links to an external site.).
